Hibiscus Tree

Written By Ann Hartley

I ordered a number of hardy hibicus trees (Rose of Sharon and some others) in May and despite watering them faithfully through August they all looked dead. Finally one morning I happened to see a ground squirrel going from one plant to the next, nibbling on the trunks. That is why there were no leaves!

After I wrapped vinyl netting around them, they started growing like mad.
